A Study on Device Oriented Security Challenges in Internet of Things (IoT)

Internet of Things (IoT) basically discusses about the connection of various physical devices through a network and let them take an active part by exchanging information through Internet. This paper presents important applications of IoT and the different challenges of IoT. Out of the various challenges, attacks on the devices used in IoT are of serious concern. Device oriented attacks and the defensive mechanisms are studied in this paper. A comparison is done for the specific malicious attacks on the M2M communicating devices.
